I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

So many comments shitting here and not giving helpful advice at all, so so fucking stupid. The best way to get ahead of this would be when the next time this pops up, press Shift + f10 and then type "OOBE\BYPASSNRO" easy and simple, takes only a few seconds and makes everything more seamless, such as no one drive bullshit etc..

I believe this method was blocked. But it's also not what the screen shot is. This is an update screen.

It worked on my machine. Also, why would they block it?? This specific command was definitely added by some Microsoft engineer, and not just for shits and giggles. There must have been some reason to add it in the first place, and certainly no reason to block it.

Sorry, missed your reply. I run the setup for Windows on a lot of computers. Last time I tried that command it wasn't working. I used to be able to start the setup and once you got to the point of needing to sign in to a Microsoft account you could skip it. They removed that. Then this command you are talking about worked for a bit. Then removing the ethernet cable worked for a while, Microsoft closed that too. Currently I connect the machines to a network and attempt to log into an account, but mistype the password. This will give an error and allow a local account. Unfortunately these are machines for sale, so I can't use a Microsoft account like they want. It's a whole "thing". However, if it's your own machine, use Rufus to create a boot disk that will bypass the Microsoft account requirement.

Why would they block it? Because they want everyone to use a Microsoft account, and they have been getting more and more aggressive about it.

Edit: forgot to mention again, OP's post image is from an update message and not initial Win 11 install. The command to skip the sign on is for OOBE, "out of box experience". Aka initial setup.

For this screen not to come back, Settings notifications turn off the last three checkboxes
